Bio
Andy Holden
I worked with Annika in both the Cutscene and In-Game animation departments at TT Games. I found Annika to be not only a good animator but very supportive of the people around her, and would recommend her to any future employer.
Bill Martin
Annika has produced some great animations for the cutscene team. She has a good sense of timing and can produce some great acting from her characters. Over the (several) years that we've worked together, I've been impressed with Annika's technical competence, her pro-active attitude to (artistic and technical) problem-solving and solution-sharing, and her willingness to put in the extra when it's really needed. Annika is a positive asset to any animation team and a pleasure to work with.
